In Response To: Re: Matlock's/Young's Regiment ()

I take the following from Ray Nichols' history of the 32nd Arkansas posted on the GERDES site.

June 28, 1862, 6 companies of the Battalion under command of Captain Hicks, attacked the enemy in force and in position on White River near Groves Glaze. The battle commenced near night and was continued until the flash of the enemy’s guns could be distinctly seen in the darkness. The enemy’s loss was recorded as 90 killed and wounded. Confederates lost 1 killed and 4 wounded. The Union troops withdrew from the field.

I am trying to identify the skirmish that this is referring to. On the Arkansas Toothpick, I find the following list of actions in that time period, but none of them seem to be the size described in Rays Article.

6-27-1862: Skirmish, Waddell’s Farm
6-27-1862: Skirmish, Stewart’s Plantation, Village Creek
6-30-1862: Action, Adam’s Bluff
7-04-1862: Skirmish, Grand Glaize, White River

I can find no record of a skirmish on JUnd 28, 1662, and I can find nothing regrarding the July 4, 1862 skirmish at Grand Glaize. I suspec this article is actually referring to the June 27th Skirmist at Stewarts plantation, and possibly combining that with the June 27th skirimish at Wadell's Farm?

Any thoughts? Any references?
